Can you get a lockable strongbox, maybe an old ammo box and lock your fruit and nuts away like a squirrel perhaps?

I will not lock things away in my own house.  I should be able to trust the people I live with.

What you need to do is set a trap like on the film Home alone. Then you’ll catch him xx

My friend used to do exactly that - lock away treats in an old ammo box!   I used to hide choccy treats , but i suppose more everyday items like peanut butter and cake ingredients should be able to be left in the cupboards ...

I went out for a walk to the shops earlier, have put 2 loads of laundry on the line, am de-skanking DS1s  H&S disaster bed sheets in the machine for the next 2 hours, and have the queen's horsey  party on the tv on silent with Radio X on instead - who even knew they marched in time to Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill?

Make your own soundtrack!

Yay, a fellow Radio X listener (which is largely like Radio 1 in the 90s only without John Peel and more Liam G -who'd have thought that were possible).

Good luck with the sheets, i have some Hazmat suits i could've sent you for handling.

We took a walk up to see the flyover go, well, over, earlier. Not as impressive as some we've seen going over us but can't complain.

I could only get 5 stations on my car radio in Manchester, and XFM was one of them.  Me and Clint Boon shared a great Saturday night when I was in labour with DS3 (not in the car, in the hospital room) 

DH was at home with DS1 & 2 and the chicken pox virus - I definitely had the better gig.

I think i still have the XFM badge which were being handed out at Reading Festival when the station was about to launch. I must admit I do like listening to Chris M and Johnny V in rose tinted retro specs. 'Gawjus George Godfrey' usually has a good playlist too.  Although I do chuckle at how the station were rather unfavorable to The Enemy in the 00s and now they've reformed, were signing their praises 🙄 

I hope DS3 is displaying suitably good music taste having entered the world to Clint.

The one who loves to dance the most at weddings is DS3 (apart from me)

Oh dear, I seem to have shot myself in the face in a stupendous act of sabotage.

I have used up all but a handful of the pecans (probably a normal sized pack of pecans for a normal person) in a chocolate pecan loaf cake, I also made a coconut bundt and a spiced fruit loaf cake.  Then DH decided he wanted to make scones.  So we now have a ridiculous amount of scrummy cake for all occasions.  Well that will teach them to eat my cooking ingredients won't it???   Tomorrow I will make a soda bread and a fruited soda bread. 

I might have to take us out on a day trip somewhere.  It will not be safe in the freezer. They can work the microwave

So I brought in the laundry, put out the laundry, and have tidied my bedroom and zapped some books they would not take a fortnight ago - well they will take £6 worth of them now, but I am going to leave it another week before zapping them again (and the new books I have acquired) as some of them were only 8p and that rankles.

Off for a cup of tea and a re-read of a book series.  I have made more money on p/a today than I spent on rolls and burgers this morning and I still have the burgers.....so I have more money than I started with, plus burgers, and cakes. 

Happy Thursday!
